We are pleased to report that on Friday, January 27th, SFIG filed papers to incorporate the Structured Finance Coalition (SFC), its new grassroots advocacy organization.

Organized under Delaware corporate law as a 501(c)(6), the SFC will support the overall advocacy mission of SFIG by creating a dedicated, individually-oriented platform for members of the industry to personally advocate on issues important to structured finance. To broaden the reach and increase the depth of the structured finance industry's voice with federal lawmakers, the Coalition also plans to form a Political Action Committee.

As we continue to build out the online architecture of the SFC, please stay tuned for more information on how you can sign up and become a member of this free coalition.

And don't forget to mark your calendar and join us for the official Structured Finance Coalition launch event at SFIG Vegas on Monday, February 27th. Attendees of the event will get a first look at how this new coalition will help strengthen advocacy efforts in the federal policy arena. Note that to participate, attendees will need to join the Coalition when checking in for the event, for which membership is complimentary.
